The Tale Of The Baking Soda In The Neti Pot

Learn from my fail: I just irrigated my sinuses with a baking soda solution because I was out of salt and I didn't want to use to expensive gourmet sea salt I bought in Seattle long ago. I thought, baking soda tastes salty, so...here we go! The result: owieowieowieowieowieowieowie! Now that the searing pain is subsiding and death doesn't seem quite so imminent, I can only hope the infection felt the same way I did about the baking soda.

Side note: at least I didn't fail quite as hard as the roomie I had whose boyfriend convinced her to snort cayenne pepper when she had a cold. She actually lost her equilibrium and fell over. She was a fastidious girl, and we knew that if she was going to let her face touch that filthy kitchen floor, the grim reaper was standing over her even then.
